It seems like everyone has a different idea for how supremacy's endgame should be handled, and not all of them are bad ideas. On top of that, there's a lot of attachment to this or that tech, but those same techs are hated by many. Assume for the sake of argument that we'd leave TP2 as is. The current situation:
All factions but GT have access to XRM/P, an expensive upgrade of moderate benefit to the already expensive heavy bomber.
All factions have heavy bombers, which aren't all that great on their own.
All factions but GT have Figbees, which work mostly the same from one faction to the next, have mostly pointless mini-AC turrets, and are cheap enough you can put a dozen pilots in them without breaking the bank.
GT has LRMs as an upgrade for hvy bombers and PT bombers.
Now, instead consider a situation in which some factions get figbees (with some alterations, e.g. removing the turret, buff or nerf this or that), some get (improved) XRM/P, some get shield or gun upgrades for hvy bombers, and maybe some get entirely new ships, like a slower figbee with a full AC turret, or forward mini-AC.
So yeah, probably a dumb idea, but I just wanted to put it out there on the off chance people like it.
Faction diversity in supremacy endgame
removing the turret is a good idea
but myself i'd like to see fig b gone

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
